Rarefied gas dynamics; Proceedings of the 17th International Symposium, Rheinisch-Westfaelische Technische Hochschule Aachen, Germany, July 8-14, 1990
Abstract
The topics discussed in this symposium on rarefied gas dynamics (RGD) include kinetic theory and the Boltzmann equation (fundamental studies), the kinetic theory of gas flow (transport phenomena and numerical aspects), the analysis of the RGD flow (the shock wave structure), the properties of rarefied atmospheres, and the polyatomic gases. Attention is given to the RGD plasma, external and internal RGD flows, numerical methods (an application of Monte Carlo direct simulation and discrete velocity methods) and numerical methods including internal degrees of freedom. Special consideration is given to the molecular dynamics and numerical techniques; the expansion flows (jets, plumes, interaction with surfaces); the properties of free jets (molecular beams); the formation and properties of clusters; condensation and evaporation (clusters and films); surface phenomena; gas-surface interactions; and instrumental development, experimental facilities, and RGD applications.
